Published: January 11, 2007

Three Muslim men, Mirsad Bektasevic, a Swede of Bosnian origin; Abdulkadir Cesur, a Danish-born Turkish citizen; and Bajro Ikanovic, a Bosnian, were sentenced to prison terms of up to 15 years for planning a suicide attack in Europe against the deployment of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. After their arrests in 2005, the Bosnian authorities informed the Danish and British authorities of their findings, which led to several arrests in Denmark.
